Lagvinari is a small organic winery in Georgia, founded in 2011 by Dr. Eko Glonti, a former physician and geologist who works closely with local winegrowers. Glonti uses local grape varieties and traditional winemaking methods to produce his wines. The wines are fermented and aged in clay egg-shaped vessels known as kvevri, an ancient Georgian winemaking method recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage practice. Lagvinari creates wines of different styles according to the Kakhetian or Imeretian methods. These wines are featured on the menus of several Michelin-starred restaurants!

Lagvinari Rkatsiteli 2022 is an orange dry wine made from autochthonous Rkatsiteli grapes grown in the Kakheti region. The wine is produced using the traditional Georgian winemaking method, with fermentation and maturation taking place in egg-shaped kvevri. It is not filtered or clarified before bottling. Lagvinari Rkatsiteli is crafted in a pure style, featuring aromas of dried fruits, herbs, and tea. The wine is full-bodied with a fresh flavor and moderate tannins.
Lagvinari produces Rkatsiteli wine in Kakheti, a wine-growing region in eastern Georgia. The region features two major river basins, the Ivri and the Alazani, both of which significantly influence the character of Kakheti wines. The region's climate also plays a crucial role, with vineyards cultivated at altitudes ranging from 250 to 800 meters above sea level. The climate varies from humid subtropical to continental, further influenced by dry air masses from the Caspian Sea and humid air from the Black Sea. Rkatsiteli, the dominant white grape variety in Kakheti, is highly adaptable and frost-resistant, comparable to varieties like Riesling and Pinot from northern wine regions. Rkatsiteli, like Kakheti itself, is remarkably diverse.
